It sounds like providers are trying to hide monthly fees in an attempt to obscure them. My ISP will let me 'rent' a modem for $10 a month, but I just decided to buy my own for $60 fifteen years ago. My brain says that's $1800 (it could be wrong, it's late). If I didn't know I was paying a $10 monthly fee, I'd never have bought my own.

And if a fee is actually a tax, just put that on the bill. It's pretty simple.

Tomorrow I expect to see Scott Adams retweet his "Republicans will be hunted" post from a couple years ago.

I've been going with EyeBuyDirect the last few times I've gotten new glasses. I've used Zenni a few times, and they're definitely on the list of places I check, but EBD has a better selection. I save so much money on frames I can afford better lenses, and they run 2 for 1 deals pretty often. So I get a pair of regulars and a pair of polarized sunglasses.

You can upload a picture and then try on the glasses virtually and judge that way.

qBittorrent, activate the search plugins, look for "2160p XXX"

I will reserve my judgement until someone else repeats this. Too many times these types of papers end up being retracted due to mistakes or proven false later. FTL neutrinos come to mind.

You're thinking of Nitrous Oxide (N~2~O). Nitrous Oxide is used during some surgeries (I took it when they pulled my wisdom teeth) and abused by people trying to get high. Nitric Oxide (NO) is apparently a vasodilator (it relaxes blood vessels allowing more blood to flow). It's produced naturally by the body, and you can buy supplements if you really want your pee to have more Nitric Oxide in it (taking most supplements just makes your body get rid of the extra by filtering it through the kidneys).

I don't know anything about the Buteyko method, but it sounds like a fad/scam medical practice with no proven benefits. But you do you, just don't do the tape thing, that sounds dangerous.

Do I have access to a What-If machine and the Finglonger?
